    R 688 ST
    Very nice truck!! I'm hoping that one day my R688ST will look as good.

    This is the first 5 pages of the R series operator's handbook. I thought some might find it interesting, and it helps reinforce the earlier post about the lighter weight RL / RS

    This is from from wikipedia, The Mercury M-Series pickup truck was produced between 1946 and 1968 byFord Motor Company of Canada, primarily for Canada. Early versions often came with a higher output (CM-1 designated) Mercury/Ford flathead V8 engine over and above the unique Mercury-specific grille, badging and trim that adorned every Mercury M-Series truck. The M-Series was introduced in Canada because smaller communities either had a Ford dealer or a Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer, but not both; a Mercury truck line offered more opportunities for truck sales.

    I wanted to add a couple of Fords. These are going to be at an auction in Toronto the end of this month. The first one is a 1951 COE F5 The next 2 pics are of our Canadian Ford, A 1956 Mercury 500. I'm not sure if the only difference between the Ford and Mercury is the name on the hood.

    That is one clean look'n 700. I think I would get back over and make a deal with the guy soon. … In case someone has seen your pics and decide they need it more than you. Good luck!!! Keith

    I think the white super dog with the sleeper is IH farms, member on this forum. Nice truck.

    What a great job Vlad!!! That stainless will look too good to paint. Love it ! Maybe you could take what is left of the kitchen sink back to the store, tell them it leaks and you want your money back.

    like a good operator, looks like you have all the basics covered. Looks like you might have to dig deeper. Hope you can get it figured out. Sorry i can't offer any advice. Keith

    Brian has it covered, but to add a little more, I think the basic concept of the vent j_martell is, as the oil leaves the reservoir to fill the lift cylinders, it has to be replaced by air. If air can't get in the reservoir , oil won't be able to easily leave, creating a vacuum in the tank. A good spot to check Also , might sound stupid but your oil level is right? were you loading uphill or downhill, and the oil supply line on the high side of your tank.

    Thanks BAD DOG, I have seen pics of the F700, I think you posted them. It looks very sharp! As much as I would like to have something that is very rare. I think it would give me a nervous breakdown trying to get it restored. Its a chore buying parts for an R600 at times. I can just see the look on the parts guys face when I ask for something for a 1950 LMU. Very interesting truck though. Keith

    I have been trying to figure that out Jim, I think it is about an hour west of my place. It looks like some type of museum. You guys have me thinkn I should own it. I don't think I need another project though. Thanks for the input!
  18. 85snowdog
    I've never seen anything like it. I'm assuming its rare ?

    No connection http://www.kijiji.ca/v-heavy-trucks/markham-york-region/1950-mack-crane/1021185680?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true The ad says 1950 Mack, but I'm not sure what model. I was wondering if someone knew what it was. It looks like it has suicide doors? Keith

    You got that right Al, he was a policeman that did commercial truck enforcement. I was just getting finished up after a storm. He stopped me because he wanted to see my over wide load permit. He said I was over 8ft. 6 wide so I needed it. He made me go to the nearest weigh station(to make sure I wasn't overloaded) ………... 2 hours later he let me go. Plows don't need permits , its in our highway traffic act.

    This is from a Mack Maintenance and Lubrication booklet. I think it is basically what Alex said.

    For some strange reason… my favourite transmission. Good for high winging, can back up in 5th, and take another swipe if I have to.
